AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

SME Boost in Kuwait: talabat launched “talabat grow” in Kuwait, a six-month mentorship push for 1,000+ SME restaurant owners, starting with a six-week bootcamp on management, menu development, and kitchen efficiency. Trade Recognition: Kuwait’s Governor’s Trade Excellence Awards also spotlighted companies with strong international reach, reinforcing how export capability is becoming a growth lever. Energy Pressure on Small Firms: across the region, the Iran-related fuel shock continues to squeeze operators—businesses are still reporting higher operating costs and tighter margins as fuel and logistics stay volatile. Digital Payments for Cargo: SLT CargoPay rolled out a Web3 cargo-payment system aimed at simplifying transportation invoices and settlements on-chain, signaling more fintech competition for trade workflows. Workforce Inclusion Tech: Enabled Talent launched an AI “Workforce Inclusion Network” to help governments and employers coordinate hiring support for people facing fragmented job systems.
